Project "Dolus" WIP (poorcollegedev)
Project "Dolus" was supposed to be my first project made with game salad, but due to me not knowing well...anything... I pushed it aside and made Light the Way. Now, I'm reviving "Dolus" and work is in full swing!
Project "Dolus" is an adventure game with rpg aspects. Set in a mystical kingdom, players are tasked with hunting down a man who has intruded the royal castle and stabbed the newly elected king. However, as the story continues, players are taken on a roller coaster of a campaign, enduring twists and turns and intense battles along the way.
Background info: This game is based on a story I wrote during my senior year of high school
What I'm doing right now: Castle Courtyard (way early version, shown in video below) I need help, though. I need help..well..making things look good. Can you guys suggest what to add to each location or changes you would like to see?

Maybe you could add a little false perspective to the walls and other things you add,for depth.
Sometimes you can get good ideas by searching Google images as well.
Good luck!
It’s not a bug – it’s an undocumented feature

@fal01 Love the avatar/Profile Picture
With writable tables you can help to control the position of the actor, and the images it constrains to a lot easier, Well of course if your all ready capable of doing pseudo 3d,
Maybe have a look at this thread it will help explain to you how pseudo 3d is much better with tables: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/44390/pseudo3d-using-images-and-tables-i-hope-you-like-it#latest
If I have time ill make a little demo incorporating writable tables & Tables...
Also, do you guys think it would be easier to build each area (grass, terrain, etc) in a different software and import it, then add the barriers, or do each tile at once in game salad and use collision that way?
What do you mean "different software" you mean like Art or.....?
oops yeah sorry. Im using pixen for art lol
Smallish Update right now. I'm pushing the courtyard back until I can draw up some designs for it. However, I've got the plans drawn up for the castle so Im starting on that
Smallish update again. I have to go bavk and change the castle floor tile because it kind of clashes with the walls lol. Other than that, the castle is shaping up nicely. I should have another DevDoc availavle within the next few days
Hey guys, I've got the second DevDoc for you guys! All it showcases at the moment is the layout of the castle. Now, Im going back in and adding stuff! Enjoy and C&C welcome!
